Brooke Walton has ridden since the age of 5. At 12 she spent a week at Ann Kursinki's training with George Morris, all thanks to Lee Cone. At age 15 she moved to Camden, SC for an apprenticeship with Aaron Vale riding show and racehorses. As a junior she qualified for the local and national medal finals, rode in her first Grand Prixs and was even invited to Reims France, Monterrey Mexico and Caracas, Venezuela to represent the United States for Young Riders. She attended Carson Newman College in Jefferson City Tennessee with a major in English and an Emphasis is Creative Writing while training with and working for Kim Burnette and Dennis Mitchell of Kimberden.. After college she returned home in 2003 to start Indigo Road.

This is Aurelio.  He has been with us for awhile now.  He lives on the farm.  He is the man with the secret sugars in his pocket.  He was a rancher in Mexico and the horses love him.  They hear him coming with his whistle, they know his footsteps when he walks in the barn.  He knows horses intuitively.  He speaks only the english he is learning  from everyone at the farm.  Our farm would not be the same without him.  Here he is with Troubador, Robin Dicke's super nice jumper.












This is my little protege Taryn Hicks.  She rides almost anything, she helps our lessons get their ponies, she goes on the road to shows, she helps do the barn when I have to go out of town, she does almost everything the same way I do - which can be good and bad.  She also just got her LICENSE!!  woohoo.  She is a great little assistant.

This is Jack our resident goat.  He is in a shopping cart at tsc in this pic, a dog got hold of him and injured him, we are lucky he's alive.  (actually I don't kno if that is true)....He has gotten over his injury and thinks the farm is his- he is the troll under the bridge.
